November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.

“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”

At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.

"As one of the few Jews on [the flotilla]...they asked me if I was Jewish...threw me in front of the Israeli flag... we were strip-searched & zip-tied & blindfolded, & sent to this detention camp."

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people."

Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino describes Greta Thunberg wrapped in an Israeli flag “like a war trophy,” mocked, beaten & humiliated. Ben Gvir oversaw detainees treated “as terrorists.” Read his account of what happened after activists were illegally detained on the Global Sumud Flotilla ⬇️

On scene on 40th and Kedzie in Chicago, where locals are facing down militarized federal agents over a possible federal immigration enforcement- related shooting. Details still scarce and developing.

Locals chanting "ICE go home"

BREAKING: Activists in NYC are mobilizing in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla and against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Our report from otg.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

With Chicago in the ICE crosshairs right now, here are some independent and nonprofit media orgs to read, follow and support.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

An absolute failure of major news outlets and mainstream reporters, to put it politely.

Kimmel is back. And the Trump administration just deported this man:

A large group of ICE agents in full tactical gear.

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit
